Strange thing is, i stood on the obvious one several times and nothing seemed to happen.

Don't you just hate it when something so simple is hidden like that?

hehe.. the whole game is filled with that. I've played through it 2 times already and am on my third run now (going for max gold). I've still YET to find one of the prisoners to free, and one of the deathstones. I have no earthly clue where they could be as I've torn that game world inside and out.. hehe.

Also found out there's 2 secret stashes in the very first scene in the town of Dryden (chapter 1). Two of those "shoot the rope on the sign to break the door open" types. Wow.. never would've caught those on the first playthrough considering they throw you right in to combat. You pretty much have to go back and explore the areas after you've cleared each section to make sure you haven't missed anything.. hehe

A note on the Father's crypt.. the disk isn't the obvious huge one in the center of the room.. it's a small pressure disk. They're darker (and raised) from the rest of the floor and makes the usual slider noise when you step on it. You'll smack your head against the wall once you find them.

If you face the crypt you are wanting to get in to.. the disks are at 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock angles within the room directly diagonal from each other.
